Current Music: Marco Borsato - "Vogelvrij" (yeah, again)

Guess where I'm going tomorrow? To the Efteling!!! With P and maybe A, but A doesn't like roller coasters (how is that possible?!) so we'll see. And hey, Florida crowd, guess what: they have a ride that's like the MK's It's A Small World! Can't wait to see how that compares... but if I get stuck in there the way I did that time in the MK, then I'll know I'm cursed! LOL!

Didn't do all that much today... lunch with P (some *really* good bagel thing with feta cheese and tomato, YUM!), and a little shopping. Utrecht is full of guys running around in pink and orange shirts... you'll go blind if you don't look out. ;) I guess it's for rush or something. Anyway, I bought a map of Utrecht (can finally return that one I borrowed from Yvon) and also discovered HEMA!!! *pause for heavenly music* Americans, to fill you in: it's the Target of this country. :) I'm going to go back there this week and spend a looong time looking around... they have cool stuff and nice clothes, just like Target, and I really do need school things... but the PAPER is so funny! Instead of your 'traditional' 3-holed notebook paper, this stuff has like ten million holes down the side! I do like the size, though... more 'petite', zeg maar.

My bank cards came today too ... ABN-AMRO ... a lot prettier than my American ones :) but they're not active yet so I have to go do that at some point. Mom transferred all my money over here for me (at least I *hope* it worked, I can't check that yet) so I now have the capability to go on a shopping spree once they *are* active... ooohh, dangerous... Jess in Europe with money she can't see... ;)

*degenerates into useless singing* "Ik wil gewoon mezelf ziiiiiijjjnn...."

Okay, bye now. :)
